PS: there are only 4-5 spells that depends on kde4[0] and are not in kde4* 
sections that would most 
likely split to own grimoire. So that wouldn't be such big problem. We could 
move those too or remove 
dependency if possible. 

We would have more problems with kde3[1]. It has much more spells that depend 
on it outside kde* 
sections.

[2] Command used (not really perfect but it will do for first estimate): git 
grep "depends *kde[^4]* " -- 
*DEPENDS
